Volger Branch is a stream in Atchison County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Rock Creek.

The stream headwaters arise at 40°25′15″N 95°27′56″W / 40.42083°N 95.46556°W / 40.42083; -95.46556[1] at an elevation of approximately 1080 feet just southwest of the junction of U.S. Route 136 and Missouri Route J.[2] The stream flows to the southwest to its confluence with Rock Creek approximately one mile south of the city of Rock Port at 40°23′45″N 95°30′36″W / 40.39583°N 95.51000°W / 40.39583; -95.51000 and an elevation of 912 feet.[1]

Volger apparently is a corruption of Vogler, the surname of a pioneer settler.[3]
